Altoholic

Version: 11.0.004

by: Thaoky [More]

Hi, my name is Thaoky, and I'm an Altoholic

Altoholic is an Ace 3 add-on written for people who dedicate most of their time to leveling alts, and who want to have as much information as possible in one place.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

I am back in the game since 28/12/2020.

If you are upgrading from a version below 9.0.003, YOU MUST CLEAR YOUR SAVED VARIABLES !!

This means cleaning the following files in \WTF\Account\<your_account>\SavedVariables : Altoholic.lua & All DataStore*.lua

About the add-on:

The add-on has been in development since December 2007 and was officially released in late March 2008. It provides you information about your alts (bags, mails, AH, etc...) without having to reconnect them all the time.

Supporting development:

You might not know this, but add-ons do not write themselves.
If you want to help development, or simply show your appreciation, use one of the following ways:

Making a Paypal donation here : [email protected]
Make a gift from my Amazon's wish list : https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3A2XOLZ09V2A8
Make an in-game donation (EU only : gold, BOE's, pets, mounts, ..) : Thaoky @ MarécagesDeZangar

About the author:

I was born in '76 (you do the math) and I work as a Project Manager + Software Architect + Full Stack Web Dev (yup, multiple hats) in a large multinational, so my coding time is limited, and Work > Gaming.

I live in Belgium, and obviously play on EU only.

Assistance will be provided on a best effort basis, but in any case always be polite and respectful when asking for help, I am neither a teenager, nor a punching ball. I am a cool guy with people who are cool with me. Respect that rule and we'll be fine.

Availability:

2020/12/28: I am back in the game.

Current Issues:

2020/12/28: Due to Teelo's actions, I have reverted his changes and resumed development based on my latest version of the code. Some of his new features are temporarily not available anymore, some are gone forever. The main Shadowlands features will be back though, just be patient.

Credits:

I'd like to thank my guild, Odysseüs on EU-Marécages de Zangar, for assisting me since the earliest phases, thanks guys for everything you've done
Thanks to the all the people who have supported the add-on since 2008, and also all those of you who came on board later.
Thanks to all the guys who have helped with code/translations/bug tracking.. and well, project support in general, especially during my long absences. Such projects can be long and tedious, it is good to not feel alone

Join the #altoholic IRC channel on Freenode : irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 8.0 : As with every new expansion, many things have changed in the API, and it is REQUIRED to clear your Saved Variables for the addon.
This means cleaning the following files in \WTF\Account\<your_account>\SavedVariables : Altoholic.lua & All DataStore*.lua

There WILL be bugs if you use your old files without cleaning them first.
Some fixes to work around API changes are too time consuming, so cleaning is required. A meagre price to pay once per expansion.

How to support Altoholic's development :

- Use the donate button either on Curse or on WoW Interface
- Support me on Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/Thaoky , the page is still being setup, it might take a few days before it can be used, I still need a banner.
- Make a gift from my amazon's wish list : http://amzn.eu/7xWdnbZ

If you like the addon, consider supporting it, this has been the long term effort and commitment of a single person. #OneManArmy

b) i cannot relocate the item on fubar, it is "stuck" in the upper left and it's causing the text to overlap and become unreadable.

If you could fix either one of these (or both!) that would be smashing. Otherwise, great mod. Thanks!

a) Well, say thanks to fubar, this is how it works internally, and it does not let addons decide that both must be hidden. I'll never get why fubar makes such decisions on its own and does not let an author decide what he wants to do with his stuff..

b) same kind of problem, I've spent too much time trying to understand how to get that simple right-click menu to work & so on, and it never worked. The best fix I can suggest is to use LDB instead of fubar, it's way more open.

Again, sorry if I seem reluctant to address fubar issues, but they are extremely costly in terms of time, so I'd rather redirect users to a friendlier solution.

Re: Error Msg On Start

There's something strange with this specific frame, and it's probably related to a change that occured in FuBar. The thing is, I test its existence just one line before trying to hide it (the line that fails), so I find it very weird that Lua crashes there.

Admittingly, I have not looked at Fubar support in a long time, and given how much I don't like it, I doubt I'll make serious change/tests again. It has already cost me loads of hours for very little return, whereas LDB was a 10-minutes implementation and has never failed.

Now, I understand you don't seem to use fubar, and that this must be a side effect of something else, so I'll need more info to be able to help. Like an addon list at least, and making sure that this error happens when you are only running Altoholic. If it doesn't, try re-enabling other addons one by one to see if there's a conflict.

Sorry to be of so little help, but at this point, this is the best I can do.

Well, let me explain.
Lua itself VERY weak language.
It has been designed for quick rigging of hacks of some sort, was never intended for serious development.
For example, you can look at this issue. No any sign of real source of the problem, but knowing that I've had some addons installed, I were able to narrow it down to single conflicting addon. And it is not only one example. Addons list often hints about potential issues. It may come from outdated addons and/or known conflicts.

Unfortunately, no, there is too little space in the skills tab to add that, and its primary purpose has always been to view all skill levels at once. You can however click on any number to directly view the skills, and the full link will be at the top of the pane.
